sorry for another Dual core and Single core thread but i have heard many people saying that dual core is not really for gaming and that the A64 4000+ etc are
the AMD64 4000+ core specs are
Core Speed: 2.4Ghz
L1 Cache: 128KB
L2 Cache: 1024KB
and a AMD64x2 3800+
Frequency: 2.0 Ghz
L1 Cache per core: 128KB
L2 Cache per core: 512KB
Prices are identical and the dual core has an extra 128kb L1 cache.
If you overclick the 3800+ to ~2.4 Ghz frequency would it not perform like a 4000+ and still have an edge of being dual core? Of course you could always overclock the 4000+ more.
But I would like to know why people say that dual cores are not for gaming?
(sorry if i post any incorrect information I'm new here and still learning)
